In the midst of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, I've tried to keep my hands and
mind occupied with various things. And today I don't even want to think about the date........
September 11--2001. Memories roll back into your mind--and we shall never forget!
I found this in my stash pile--a magazine with fabric--yes,
I know where I bought it--Paducah, KY--the one time I went to
the quilt show there! absolutely, a fun time! and I bought so many fabrics
at such great prices! This is certainly aged--from 2008!
This bundle was a special price so I picked it up--thinking, I'm not really found
of poinsettias but maybe someone would like it.
So here is the book with pattern and all the fabric to go with it--
I'm set. Open book, find pattern, read and begin
Looking at the photo, I thought maybe all those lovely 12 blocks
with poinsettias were appliqued--by hand--but once I finally
read the notes--nope, it's machine applique--whew! relief!
Then, it's trace all the patterns onto fusible, cut and press
I usually cut out the big areas in order to have a less stiff
application--these little cut outs got somewhat 'squirrely'
when I was trying to lay them out to press--
but, all 24 were accomplished--thats' 12 in red and 12 in pink.
There is more cutting--I can do that when I'm listening to a book or
watching a sappy movie--look rather elegant once laid out.
Now, just press on background fabric and begin hem stitching--
soon we'll have a completed quilt!
